To lose or not to lose

WHY AM I NOT LOSING!  seriously.  Im bloated to hell and STARVING.  I am drinking water like it's my second job but still the bloat.  Working out yesterday was a total bust and I was uber disappointed with myself, but I said...this is not working.  I felt so bloated I thought I may float away, I was exhasted...and it was creeping up to 6:30 and I still hadn't eaten dinner so I was STARVING.  It is difficult to work out through that when all you can think about is eating.  So today I had a more refreshed attitude about working out and did a better job.  I'm almost half way through month two..which means I have a little over two weeks left.  I am disappointed because I am not seeing the changes I was expecting to see.  I won't let this stop me though.  Even if it means having to do this ALL over again.

I did sign up for my first 5k though! I am super excited and its another finish line for me to head to!  I need to get some better tape measurement and I will try to post my "inch loss" because I feel like THAT is where I am losing.  Just wish the scale would show my hard work dammnit!!!!!!!

WOAH MONTH TWO

OK ok ok ok. OK. ok.  Day one of MAX interval training.  I got my ass whooped.  60 minutes.  It isn't even like the workout is harder...those extra 20 minutes are KILLER!!!!  You know it's bad when the jacked totally fit people on the video are literally  sprawled on the floor at the conclusion of the work out.  Now I tried to pace myself through this work out because I wanted to be able to get through it but THAT was tough.  That was INSANE!!!!  This is going to be a tough month.  Those 40 minute workouts spoiled me.  Once you got through the "warm up" and the stretch you had 20 minutes of workout!  NOW....after the warm up and stretch you have like 45 MINUTES OF WORKOUT!!!  OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!  POWER THROUGH!


DIG DEEPER!

Still on the wagon

Hello everyone.  I'm still here insanitying away.  I'm halfway through "recovery week".  Recovery my ass.  Sure it isn't as "exhausting" as a normal insanity work out, but I certainly would not label the work out as a RECOVERY.  Sean T is a nut if he thinks my muscles are recovering!  There are a lot of slow movements this week and boy do my hipflexors hurt!  I have been sort of on and off with the recovery formula I got from GNC.  I'm beginning to think I got sucked into a scam with it.  I haven't taken it recently and have not had the immense pain that I had in week one.  I suppose that could be due to me just gaining some muscle.  Any way...clothes are startin to look pretty nice....definitely have dropped some belly fat.  Haven't really measured or weighed anything recently.  I was weighing myself and getting frustrated because I'm feeling lighter but the scale is going back up....I know I know...it's muscle...But i want a low number.  so THERE
